Chances are if you’re ready to turn things around in the bedroom (quite literally), the thought of anal sex has crossed your mind. Even if you’re perfectly happy in missionary , you might be curious to know exactly what it’s like out there (er, back there). You’re certainly not alone in questioning what the heck anal sex feels like—and wondering if it's territory worth exploring.
Well, here's the deal: You'll likely think it's kinda uncomfortable the first time, says Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., clinical professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at Yale School of Medicine.
"The key thing about anal sex is that more guys like it than women like it, to be honest, or at least that’s what I hear from my patients," she says. "It's uncomfortable for a lot of people, and most people will have pain. But make sure you have plenty of lubrication on hand."
Also, if it's excruciating pain—full stop. "I don't want anyone associating sex with something painful," Minkin says. So if the lube isn't working, maybe dial it down or forego the rear sack sesh that night.
That said, anal certainly isn't a drag for all women. In fact, all it takes is scouring Reddit for some solid insight from real women on what anal sex feels like:
“I love it, especially with a larger toy or penis. At first it is very intense, overwhelming, and a bit painful, and I enjoy all of those sensations. Next, I really enjoy the moment where my body decides to accept it. I will pretty much orgasm at that moment, especially when masturbating.
"Then it feels very much like vaginal sex, lots of sensation around the outer ring, some deep-pressure sensations. Then the deep pressure starts to feel just like a G-spot sort of orgasm. It’s great with a partner who can take it slowly through the first part.” — awfullyapt
“If anal sex hurts that much you’re doing it wrong. Yeah, it’s easy to have painful anal sex, but that should be avoided. Lube, lube, lube, warm it up, work your way up from small butt plugs, then ram away. Usually it’s easy to put in a butt plug that’s small enough not to hurt, but big enough to stretch your sphincter a little and get it to relax, then it should be way easier to switch it out.” — Seesyounaked
“The pulling out is the part I enjoy the most! The rest is also pleasurable, in a way that’s similar to PIV sex, as well. But the long strokes when he pulls out is best for me.” — gadgep
“I never would’ve considered butt stuff because I had no idea it could feel good for women, too. It always seemed like it was just painful for women, and for men only the prostate made it worth it. But a bit of light teasing/play totally outside of it felt f*cking awesome, then careful fingering, etc. It took me a long time to work up to the full penetration, but by the time we got that in for the first time, I was SO EXCITED to try it because I’d realized how incredible it feels.” — anonymous
“I’m a girl who LOVES anal, and will even do anal quickies more often than PIV [penis in vagina] ones. So, the key is to use a lot of lube. And when you think you’ve used enough, use MORE.
"In my opinion, the first few attempts at slowly pushing the penis in is a little uncomfortable. Your body has a natural reflex to push things out of there, not suck them in. So I take deep breaths and exhale while he pushes himself inside of me… I really enjoy it. I can orgasm doing it and I have an all-around great time. It feels like what it sounds like; having an object in your ass.” — IAmSexyReptar
“[I] would wager that the majority hate it because it’s painful and uncomfortable; but it’s not degrading. I only do anal for my bf. It honestly gives me no pleasure. It’s five minutes of pain and then the rest is just okay, whatever, fine, uncomfortable.” — purple_urkle_
“I must be in the minority. To me, it feels like reverse pooping and does not feel pleasurable at all. Plus it takes so much to warm up.” — butteryourmuffin69
“I know a lot of people’s opinions boil down to ‘I like it’ or ‘I don’t like it,’ but mine is actually right down the middle. It’s fine. All the emotions feel like regular sex, but then you don’t have all the pleasurable nerve endings that you do in the vagina. It’s kind of a weird feeling for me, but I don’t hate it, especially if my partner is really into it.” — flamants

There’s no one way to describe anal sex, just like there’s no one way to describe an orgasm , as it feels different for every woman. However, if you’ve ever been curious, seven women get super honest about what anal sex feels like for them.
“Anal sex feels like someone is stimulating every erogenous part of my body. It’s like trying to squeeze out the last of your good moisturizer and getting a satisfying squirt perfect enough to cover your whole face and neck.” — Aliza, 22
“It feels kinda like I have to poop but in a way that feels good. I wish I could find different words, but that’s seriously it.” — Gabrielle, 26
“I love it. It just feels like we’re doing something hot and unexpected, and the sensation of having a penis in there and, like, a finger or vibrator in my vagina is like crazy overstimulation in a good way. You need lots of lube though.” — Sabrina, 28
“Anal was just uncomfortable for me the first time—borderline painful—so honestly, I’ve only done it once. Because I can orgasm vaginally, though I still love my clit touched, I just feel like I have no use for a penis in my butt when it’s not going to get me off.” — Tina, 30
“For me, anal sex feels honestly like I have to poop. It’s totally fine, it just feels so reminiscent of when I’m going to the bathroom that it’s hard for me to totally embrace it, but every now and again I enjoy it.” —Annie, 27
“Once you’re really into it, then it feels like a warm, deep, almost primal sensation. My clitoral orgasms are definitely more intense with anal stimulation.” — Amber, 27
“My girlfriend occasionally penetrates me anally with a strap-on, and it’s always fun for us. It feels like a hot way to mess with dynamics of control.” — Lara, 26

Here’s what they really feel about going through the back door.
Do men really think of anal sex as the holy grail of bedroom activities? If you pay attention to pop culture, it certainly seems like it: Take that “accidental anal” episode of The Mindy Project , for example. We went straight to the source to find out dudes’ uncensored opinions on exploring your poop chute, and IRL guys’ thoughts on this somewhat taboo act vary from gung-ho to meh . If you’re into anal action, what you’re about to read is proof that you won’t have to look too far to find a guy who’s on the same page as you. But if you’re not, we're guessing these men's insights will offer some major relief.

“I have had anal sex exactly one time. Well, I count it as anal sex, even though it was more of a ‘stick it in and see how it feels’ kind of situation. My ex-girlfriend and I tried it one afternoon just for the hell of it. She'd actually lured me away from the college football game we were at with a promise that we could try anal if we left at halftime, which seemed like an okay deal to me. [I'm pretty sure] every guy wants to at least try anal, if for no other reason than to say they've traveled that path. There wasn't really anything too special about it, to be honest, and she certainly wasn't enjoying it, though that was probably due to lack of proper preparation and lubrication. I would do it again, but I don't think I'll ever be one of those dudes who is constantly asking his girlfriend if she wants to ‘do butt stuff.’ Afterward, all my friends kept asking me if I had gotten poop on my penis. I had not.” —Scott
“Why go to the sewer when there’s a playground right next door? Okay, I’m joking. But I’ve just never felt the need to explore that area. From what I’ve heard, it’s not all that enjoyable from the woman’s perspective, physically speaking, and the tightness aspect isn’t convincing when it already feels so good elsewhere. But if a girl seemed really into it and wanted me to try it, I would.” —Paul
We asked guys what really turns them on. Find out what they had to say:
“Anal sounds like a good idea when you’re tipsy or really horny. It’s like if you’re binge-eating cake: another piece seems like a good idea because it’s more of what you’re already loving. Sometimes you just want more of everything she has. But the vagina is where it’s at. As soon as you finish with anal, you’re no longer as turned on so you’re just kind of wondering why you thought it was a good idea. The vagina is right there, and it’s clean and self-lubricating. The poop thing is a real risk. A little got on the condom when I was 16 or 17, and I didn’t try it again until my mid-20s. The thought still makes me shudder.” —Mauricio
“Anal sex feels great, although not greater than vaginal sex to any exponential degree. There's more pressure on your penis, which provides more stimulation for it. It's like having vaginal sex with someone who knows how to engage their pelvic core.” —Dan
“Anal sex is interesting, great—for me, at least—and not what I expected. It’s very different from vaginal sex. A friend of mine had explained that to me, but I didn't fully understand until I tried it. To put it bluntly, vaginal sex puts pressure all over your penis when it's inside. With anal sex, there’s not much past the hole, so during the act itself, I had to focus on a lot more movement than I was expecting. Lucky for me, my partner was far more comfortable with it than I think I would have been! Although she did emphasize the need for ‘lots of lube.’” —Alex
